Milan Fashion Week:Advanced Floral

I saw this woman enjoying a cappuccino with a friend near Corso Como in Milan. I wanted to ask if I could take her photo, but decided to wait until she finished her conversation. A few minutes later, I turned around, and she had already left.Luck would have it that I ran into her a few hours later near Brera. I asked if I could take her picture and she explained in Italian that she doesn't speak English. I pointed to my camera and smiled--She understood, and I got a great shot.

I agree with the first comment - the bird's nest hairdo... and the sophisticated/fun colour. It manages to pull it to a higher level, giving the look a more interesting vibe and deeper personality. I adore the clashing florals and, with that, the gold accessories... the gold handbag and the wonderful way that she has TWO so different handbags.Oh, and photo-wise, the insouciance with which she holds her glasses gives it an edge.A beautiful example of how style is not affected by age.Chapeau!
